Neumann TLM 103 Nickel Condenser Microphone
The Neumann TLM 103 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone renowned for its exceptional clarity and low self-noise. Featuring a cardioid polar pattern, it effectively isolates the sound source while minimizing background noise. With a sensitivity of 21 mV/Pa and a maximum SPL of 131 dB, it handles both delicate vocals and loud instruments with ease.
Built with Neumann's transformerless circuitry, the TLM 103 delivers a transparent, uncolored sound with a slight presence boost for enhanced intelligibility. Its self-noise of only 6 dB-A makes it one of the quietest microphones in its class, ideal for critical recording applications. The nickel finish adds a classic aesthetic to this professional-grade microphone.
